8 Winter Fashion Trends to Shop in 2019

Ushering in a new season doesn’t call for a total wardrobe overhaul. But it is the perfect time to reassess. What is working in your closet, what makes you feel good, and what—in the famed words of Marie Kondo—sparks joy? It’s also a time to decide which trends resonate with you. Are you the sort of girl who prefers kick-ass boots? Are you ready for a bucket hat, a floor-sweeping coat, a solid-gold chain-link necklace? Scroll through the 8 trends we predict will define the Fall/Winter 2019 season, plus shop the pieces that make your heart race.

Moto Girl

Carla Guler

Buckle up, because this season, it’s all about the motorcycle boot. After months of ladylike kitten heels, we’re primed for footwear with a little more attitude. Whether streamlined and simple à la The Row, with all the bells and whistles by Prada, or knee-high via Alexander McQueen, the message is clear: We’re not here to play.

Maybe all superheroes do wear capes. Runways from Miu Miu to Celine championed the return of the cape for winter. The tailored look benefits from a dose of the unexpected, like pairing it with a sheer top layered over a bralette or even a biker short. In other words, life is all about balance.

For the Love of Logos

Fashion’s navel-gazing obsession with logos continues. And we’re here for it. Though shoes and bags look great with the right brand insignia, the latest iteration is found on fetching logo tights. Let your hosiery do the talking—a sheer skirt helps get the word out.

Somewhere between schoolgirl uniforms, classic Scottish tartans, and ’90s grunge lies the current version of the plaid trend. A good tartan benefits from a little polish mixed with some edge. And a girl can never go wrong with a great tailored suit. Bonus points for a statement shoulder.

The Long Story

For those who prefer to make an entrance: Floor-sweeping coats bring the drama—and the utility. Saint Laurent’s bold silhouette in winter white was a winner of the Fall 2019 runways. Altuzarra and Balenciaga also offered eye-catching ankle grazers. A gold chain-link necklace is the perfect finishing touch, and another standout piece of the season.

Skate Culture

Carla Guler

Though not mutually exclusive, the Bermuda short and bucket hat trends honor each other. The idea is very: A skate rat from the mid-’90s has grown up and lovingly embraced minimalism. Take your oversize, long shorts in black leather and your cool-kid bucket hat in a leopard print, and call it a chic day.

Tulle Kit

For all of fall’s moto boots and leather separates, the season also brings a true dose of femininity in voluminous, heart-stopping tulle gowns. Designers from Valentino to Khaite to Simone Rocha proved that after-dark can go beyond slinky slip dresses. When it comes to evening, or even a very #extra day look, go big or go home.
